Performance in AP Production Mode
I also tested the WifiBuilder as a production AP. The Profiler software comes with a utility called Figaro, which allows users to change common AP settings like SSID, channel and security. It's not feature- rich, and it only gives one security optionalbeit a strong security option; WEP 128-bit requiring a 26 HEX-digit key.

Fiagaro is really simple to use and the AP is configured the same way you would setup any AP or wireless router. As previously mentioned, the WifiBuilder AP is a Cisco Linksys WRT400N which is a simultaneous dual-band Wireless-N router. It's a router that's been out for two years already, but it's a solid predictable performer and is popular for its support for third-party router firmware like DD-WRT.

Since the router is a bit dated, it's not as speedy as some of the newer dual-band routers on the market, but the performance is still decent:

Should You Buy WifiBuilder?
While WifiBuilder may be pricy for wireless networking hobbyists, it's a must-have for professionals and consultants. The patented IMMI technology is ideal for showing all RF activity which is invaluable for deploying a wireless network that won't frustrate users with performance and connectivity issues. It's well worth 4.5 stars and an Editors' Choice award.
